The article concerns the excess of measurement procedures at Polish school and the opposing practices of unmeasurability undertaken by young people. Measurement excess at school is discussed in the context of three aspects of the educational process: (1) the amount of activity and curricular content, (2) school assessment, and (3) criteria and rules that unify students' individuality. Students' strategies for dealing with the measurelessness at school are based on relativization, distraction, and resignation from activities. The empirical basis of the text is the results of a qualitative study of male and female pupils' experience of nonsense at school.
